Surnames: Pickup-Bixby Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kg.2ADI/1658 Message Board Post: Pike County Republician July 25,1917 John Pickup, a resident of this city for over fifty years, died very suddenly at the family home north of town last Friday morning at 4 o'clock. Mr. Pickup had been in his usual state of health on retiring the night before. When Mrs. Pickup awakened on Friday morning she found him in an unconscious condition and his death occured within a few minutes. An inquest was held over the remains and the jury returned a verdict that death was caused from apoplexy. Mr. Pickup was born in Aldon, England, on April 9, 1851, and was 66 years, 3 months and 11 days of age. When only nine years old he came across the ocean with his parents, the trip on the water lasting six weeks and five days. On December 30, 1874, Mr. Pickup was united in marriage to Miss Ella Bixby. The wedding took place at the home of Mrs. Lucy Williams, now known as the Thos. Ward farm. Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Pickup moved to the place they now occupy, and have lived there ever since, with the exception of four years they lived in Columbus, Kansas. Mr. Pickup has always been extensively engaged in the gardening and truck business. He is survived by his wife and three children, Edward of Springfirld, William of Peoria, and Mrs. Ernest Duff of Pittsfield, nine grandchildren and two sisters, Hannah and Jane of Philadelphia, Pa. He was a man of excellent habits, fine moral character, and sturdy constitution and he continued to be active past the age at which men ordinarily drop out of the ranks of workkers. He was a pratical, matter-of-fact man, but had his own peculiar way of taking merriment from life as he went along. His best monument will be the good report that he left behind him in the community in which he lived a half century. Funeral services took place from the home Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, and were in Charge of Rev. W.R. Leslie, pastor of the M.E. Church. Interment was in the west Cemetery.
